niki's duvet

This king size duvet cover is a recent commission from Niki and her husband Claudio in Toronto. It was an amazing project to work on. I love the subtle color combinations and the geometric shapes punctuated by the viburnum leaf prints.



I apologize for my absence these past few weeks. My son got really sick while traveling in Europe, and I ended up accompanying him during his recovery in a German hospital. Most stressful times and not the ideal way to experience Munich. But he is on the mend and I am slowly catching my breath, believing everything will turn out ok.

the duvet is lovely, but even more lovely is the recovery of your son. these "little" things are never "little" things, are they? i hope you both are back to normal soon.

It's not good to get sick when you are so far away from home. I'm glad you were able to be with your son and that he is going to be ok. The duvet is simply beautiful. I have a thing for those shades of blue...
